Underwater Photography and Jigsaw Puzzles

John Pearson - Whitefin Photos

I dived for the first time in 1976 and I first became interested in underwater photography in the 1980s. My aim in producing jigsaws and mounted prints is to try to convey the beauty of the underwater environment. Many of the images you see here were taken in waters around Britain. People are often surprised by the beauty of the underwater environment to be found around UK shores. What you see here is just a tiny fraction of what is there.

The images were taken using purpose designed underwater cameras and on land cameras mounted in a waterproof purpose designed case.

I have taken underwater pictures in many parts of the world including the Great Barrier Reef, Red Sea, Mediterranean, and of course the UK.

The underpinning message is we should enjoy and look after the underwater environment and do all we can to preserve it. To that end I will make a donation to the Marine Conservation Society using a part of any proceeds from sales of these mounted prints and jigsaws.
